Developing an ontology for QoS
Russell Lock, Glen Dobson · Lancaster EPrints (Lancaster University) · 2005
This paper examines the development of an ontology for Quality of Service (QoS). This ontology is being developed to promote consensus on QoS concepts by providing a model which is generic enough for reuse across many domains. Our specific application is to the domain of service-based systems, and we have a particular interest in the QoS attributes which are part of dependability. A further emphasis of this paper is the way in which this work relates to the DIRC research themes. The main theme addressed by the paper is structure, though the applications of the ontology we aim to develop also touch upon risk, diversity and timeliness.
